I don't know if I can make it through this workout and indeed Shaun T. pulls certain participants aside and tells them to take a break and he emphasizes to never sacrifice from. Still.. this is not the cute, adorable Shaun T that happily says, " Step side to side " like in Hip Hop Abs. In Insanity he is like a mellow drill sargeant. Very collected, but very focused and to the point. It's serious business.

All I can say is, I am DEFINITELY wearing my heart rate monitor for this one, and hope I can keep a straight face and not laugh while doing this with Will (the ex) , aka Satanica

Wow is right! You are truly cruel, heartless and evil but the fact that you are doing it with him also qualifies you for the title of the program (insane)! Perhaps it is good that Shaun is not cute in this one, I can't imagine most guys wanting "cute" male instructors. My DH would just roll his eyes and walk away if faced with that. You were laughing with hysteria as you were watching this one. I would be anyway... unbelieving it could possibly be THAT tough and keeps getting tougher yet seeing it really is and knowing that you were going to face it anyway. I would like to try this, just to see how far I could get. I don't imagine it would be through the entire workout without totally dying at some point but it would be one of those challenges you'd want a t-shirt for "I survived Insanity: Pure Cardio!" You'll earn one for sure!!! I know I speak for everyone but our prayers are with you (!) and we cannot wait to hear about it!!!! :-)

I think this one LOOKS worse than it is . I made it through, modified a bit

of course to my needs, but I made it sometime last month. If a certain move

bothers an injury or what not just find a suitable substitute. My neck was

bothering me even back then and thats what I had to do.

Can't wait till I'm up to it again!!
